Development of an electro-mechanically controlled hand orthosis for assisting finger extension in stroke survivors
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the world. It causes chronic deficits, such as hemiparesis, especially prevalent in the distal upper extremities. An electro-mechanically driven hand orthosis has been developed to assess the potential therapeutic use of such devices in rehabilitating hand function. A small Direct Current (DC) brushed motor is used as the main actuator, and...

EXERCISE SPLINT FOR EFFECTIVE Casting the entire hand is not always necessary SINGLE-FINGER ACTIVE HOOK when treating isolated digital stiffness after injury, EXERCISES especially if the adjacent fingers have maintained full motion. Examples are flexor tendon repair, tenolysis, proximal interphalangeal (PIP) dislocaDebbie Ahearn, MA, OTRIL, CHT tion, proximal phalanx fractures, or other isolate...
متن کاملMechatronic Hand Design with Integrated Mechanism in Palm for Efficiency Improve of the Finger.
One of the most important case in humanoid robot designing is hand, which it consider as an country development. High percentage of robot work quality depend on hand capability. A robot function increase with hand movement. One of important movement in artificial hand capability relate to fingers lateral movement. This case has more effect intake of special objects such as round shape or moving...
متن کاملFinger Recognition for Hand Pose Determination
Hand pose and gesture recognition methods have been based on many properties of hand images, but using finger recognition is unique. Here we describe hand pose from finger recognition, its limitations and its advantages. The implementation is being used for some real applications, including interfaces and computer games, and has a success rate of over 98%
متن کاملControl of a Multi-finger Prosthetic Hand
Our novel prosthetic hand is controlled by extrinsic flexor muscles and tendons of the metacarpal-phalangeal joints. The hand uses tendon-activated pneumatic (TAP) control and has provided most subjects, including amputees and those with congenital limb absence, control of multiple fingers of the hand. The TAP hand restores a degree of natural control over force, duration, and coordination of m...
